How many coconuts could they carry?

Our Sparrow seems to have a couple of big coconuts on him.

With Fritsch out.

I wonder do they bring in a tall like Mitch Brown?

Or perhaps just go with Sparrow as the replacement and play Melksham deeper (I think this the most likely). 

Yes perfect replacement

Give him a go!!

Petty for May seems obvious from a structural perspective. 

Fritsch is a tough player to replace and we could go a number of different ways. Mitch Brown or Chandler could come in, or Sparrow just comes into the 22 and we replace the sub. One option could be to switch Hunt forward this week and include Hibberd.

I'd like to see us keep the same structure we have been running with (think tigers, one out and replace with a similar "soldier" lol), so May will be back and hes a tall, so replace with a tall = Petty. That way tomilson and lever can play their same roles, rather than one going to main tall etc. when first 4 rounds didn't play it.

I'd also avoid moving a player from back to forward for this same reason (i.e. Hunt from back forward). But less sure on Fritsch replacement (hearing people say brown because of his leading patterns, so guess go with that and will give us an insight to other Brown being back as an extra tall.

 

In: Petty, Hibberd

out: May, Fritsch

Hunt to play Fritsch’s role. 


M Brown kicked 3 in the Casey v Willy game.

He's getting a gig over Majak

why would Jordon only be given 56% game time. That's crazy.  If you're going to limit him to such low minutes it just throws extra strain on 21 other players. Play him at least 75% or play him in the vfl

Maybe he was sore.  We couldn't sub him out as we already used our sub.

yeah, only heard that after i'd speculated

of course, even a non-appearance as a med sub counts as a game played, so...

you'd think the med sub will be one of jordon / sparrow / melksham / jones or potentially rivers, although i am loathe to change the back 7 too much when we're already losing may

Watching the start of the Richmond/Saints game makes me think we need to have the height of Petty in the game this week to settle him into the structure for next week.

Sensible, probable, appropriate.

For Jordan, it is his time to shine - he's got the goods.

Majak Daw

Potential ins????

??

This is how I would tackle the loss of Fritta and May. But, I would add Petty to the mix, decrease the smalls by one 'utility' type, continue to use Jackson across the fwd line as a utility and ruck chop out with Gawn, and Daw up front/back and flanking ruck.

MBrown in as ffwd.

Jordan and Chandler - or Bedford - across the ground from the bench.

I'm guilty of both these errors, but which is worse? Jordan for Jordon? or Swallow for Sparrow?

Cam Pedersen was still being called Pederson 6 years in to his career here. I got so sick of it that I added the word Pederson to the swear filter and made the software replace it with [Pedersen]. @Demonlandfound it and took it out though. :(

Majak fan here. Love to see him kick a couple and the men get around him...

can people start calling James Jordon by his correct name. It's Jordon not Jordan. Thanks

Yes, reading the tea leaves it sounds like there will only be one change to our 23 from last week with May and Fritter out and our 23rd man Sparrow automatically in because we don't want to alter a winning line up. That means one of Petty or Hibberd is in as are Jetta and Jordon, who have barely touched it but have played a role in the first four weeks.

It should be noted that the Dogs continue to make changes and drop players, even though they have been winning - just ask their vice-captain Mitch Wallis. Similarly Sydney brought in Buddy the other week, despite all the wins. But because it's such a shock to our system to actually win each week, our match committee is having a drunken orgy and has decided to just leave things how they are - and just have faith in  the boys that did the job the previous week.

So actually looking at ways to best cover losing our best left-foot defender and our best left-foot forward are irrelevant until we lose or we get another injury.

Surprised this hasn't come up before today.

The bloke was our worst player last week and his attempted banana from 15 metres out was indicative of where he is at. 

If you think Melksham was our worst player last week, you've got a mighty prejudice against him which is seriously clouding your judgement.

(I'm trying to be polite with my criticism.)

We won't have to worry about big Jonathon Patton - just announced his retirement from AFL.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
